Incorrect spelling, explanation: visitted is not the correct form of Past Participle in English. There is no need of adding the second consonant t to the stem. Thus, in this case, the correct suffix is ed, not ted. Besides, considering the origin of the word that derived from Latin visitare when there was only one t, we can confidently say that the only correct spelling is visited, not visitted.
Correct spelling, explanation: visited is the correct past verb form that occurred in Middle English as visiten. It displaced the word secan from Old English. The word visit comes from Old French visiter that originated in Latin as videre. Finally, in Modern English, there is the form visit. And because of the rule that when we create past verb form, we do not double consonant in an unstressed syllable, the only correct form is visited.
